    Absolutely incredible! As a non-affirming mother with a daughter who identifies as a boy, I am so grateful for the Chrises (and Stellas and Shashas) in the world. We parents are criticized on all sides and are so tired from the fight that having someone fight for our children gives so much comfort.

      @@nybergjm there is too much to share, from family losses, to puberty hitting, to a recent diagnosis of bipolar 2 which runs in the family. You have an advantage since you are aware of this phenomenon before it hits your home. I had no idea. The best I can say is to start the conversations early and keep them off social media as much as possible.

    As a former teacher in the UK, we got slides from an outside company which we had to deliver. I taught in a secondary school so it wasn't so heavy. I just pretended that the Whiteboard was broken and we had a chat about studies, work and ... the things the kids felt were important to them. Many of them felt that the gender stuff was irrelevant to them and "a bit nonsensical if you ask me" from one student.

      I’ve witnessed my sister in law lecturing her teenage sons about this ideology, telling them that they’re not being open minded because they roll their eyes and snicker when she goes on. I’m proud of them. It reminds me of how some evangelical relatives in the 80s tried to talk to me about their beliefs and I wouldn’t get into it with them, I just knew they were wrong and a bit crazy. This gives me hope, that these kids aren’t being indoctrinated despite the adults best efforts to cram this stuff down their throats.

    We need more of this in the world! I was that effeminate little boy who got bullied for his love of pink and Barbies, like so many other boys who would likely grow up to be gay. All of the organizations who claim to look out for gay youth would now tell those effeminate boys and girls who are tomboys that they were born in the wrong body. It’s refreshing to hear people talk about this and sound the alarm, I a deeply concerned about other kids who don’t conform to sex based stereotypes now. Thank you for this conversation!

    At the one hour mark I was really struck by what Stella said about being reluctant to seek counselling for a child - we removed our son from school when he was ten to home educate him because he was really, really stressed and damaged by school. Often we felt overwhelmed by helping him. I often felt at the absolute limit of my capability as a parent to support him, and we considered counselling many times. But our one ‘brush’ with CAMHS was deeply unimpressive, so we held off, and kept trying, kept thinking, kept being creative with how we helped him to think about himself and his life. And in the end that was the right thing. He didn’t need medicalising or treating. He needed acceptance and healing. I do believe most of the gender confused children we hear about nowadays need the same. They certainly don’t need their mental struggles validated as reality!

      @@theroadlesstraveled3993 Please don't worry that you've done the wrong thing. The therapist is very unlikely to make anything worse (as you say, it's not a gender therapist!), but I would suggest letting your child tell you what it's like, and let them know they're in charge - if it doesn't feel right to them, it isn't and it's wise to trust their judgement on it. That's not the same as it feeling challenging, or having some upset involved, but therapy should feel supportive; it should feel good - encouraging - to talk to them.
      I hope it went well. Do you have someone to support you going through this difficulty?

    Thank you for pushing back a little bit on the mental illness angle around 58:00. (I'm quite worried for the future of mental health as this current era of healthcare breaks so many boundaries and frayed bonds of trust people have in it) The gentleman asked why are parents taking their kids to a therapist 2 weeks in. Because the parents are terrified. If a pediatrician tells you your child needs to see X,Y, or Z because of serious issues or possibly a fatal outcome in the extreme, YOU GO! I'm much wiser now. But in the US, kids can be separated from their parents and lead down the rabbit hole of "mental health" without a parents' consent. I was asked to leave the room so my child could speak with a dr. The minute I pieced together what was happening and that I had say in only certain areas, I had to hold on with both hands to those areas. It has cost me a great deal health-wise, I fear to think what it could have and has caused my child. The stress that comes at your from all sides while all you want to do is make sure your kid is OK is tremendous. Our issues weren't even about gender. I can't imagine the outrageous pressure these families endure when they were on a journey that had the "best of" funding it. It's maddening and heartbreaking and criminal. Many families are caught up in this and barely treading water. Everything happens so fast from the moment you enter the drs office.

    • @markrussell3428
      @markrussell3428 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, not so fast. Adolescent therapist can be a step back preventing a child from achieving personal resilience. It becomes part of victem culture. "I have a therapist" becomes another signal (excuse) to others that "I am special, I need your empathy". Much like an adolescent wants a diagnosis, and an excuse that their "ability" is compromised. Hence there is no reason to put in effort - you need to accommodate my difference. You can add in how much more are we going to compromise for those who are now learning they come from a legacy of the oppressed and ancestral trauma. Another victim hood narrative.

    Chris is brilliant. I wanted to hear Sasha enter into the discussion around the merits of Gender & Sexuality Alliance AKA Gay & Straight Alliance (GSA). Sasha has run these clubs when they had purpose and meaning. Have they gone of the rails? Are the appropriate??

He was in the vanguard protesting against Canadian wokery, of course, but it's hypocritical to call gender ideology "nuts" and support Peterson, who is off the charts whacko, not to mention a beligerent misogynist with a disturbing history of drug addiction, cult-like diets, and extremely authoritarian parenting (he literally force-fed his kid for an hour, holding food in his mouth until he had to swallow, to "out-stubborn" him, and boasted about it in one of his myth-infused "lectures" here on youtube). His reactionary politics gives the gender-confused that damaging excuse to ignore us, equating gender critic with insane, far-right, angry dinosaur. Cheers.

    He’s very brave and articulate. I don’t think well on my feet, and have such low self esteem, I gave up on talking to my low information normie friends about this topic. Even though I worked at a gender clinic in San Francisco and had firsthand knowledge that these interventions are purely a fiction, surface level trickery at best, and turn what should be people getting therapy into lifelong medical patients. I had to talk to my husband for many months about what was going on there before he would concede that he didn’t realize believe that a man could medically become a woman, and vise verse, but that it was easier to just pretend he believed that for the sake of getting along as a leftist in the sf Bay Area. Most people don’t want to listen and it’s in their best interests not to listen, not to have to get that punched in the gut feeling that comes along with having your eyes opened to something that could get you deemed a “right winger,” which is tantamount to having your life completely ruined socially and professionally in most West Coast cities. So I don’t even try. I live in constant fear that people will notice me not enthusiastically nodding along and clapping like a seal when they’re going on about this topic, which they’re usually just parroting whatever they’ve heard activists saying. I’ve pulled away from social circles that begin to parrot these things. Eventually people notice and zero in when they see you not following their lead regarding this issue. My silence has gotten me called out. And I am not mentally prepared emotionally prepared to go to battle with them. So I run. I wish I had the strength and courage that Billboard Chris has, but I see how deep this goes and I know I can’t take it on. So instead I am just waiting for the medical professionals to finally admit they were caught up in an ideology and then my normie friends will parrot that new information, if it ever trickles down to them.
